Abstract	"Dixieland, ragtime, swing, bop and progressive--you can dance it, feel it, hear it or swing it, but it's all jazz, and New York is its Mecca. This is an illustrated, colorful history of the musical idiom called jazz and the way it blossomed in the shadow of the skyscraper city that gave it stature, New York. The original "jass" grew out of Negro music of the 1890's and into rhythmic entertainment first heard formally at Carnegie Hall in 1913. The toe-tapping, catchy, syncopated "ragtime" merged with the temper of the times and was popularized by long-forgotten men like Jim Europe and Scott Joplin. From New Orleans came the first musical style to be called jazz, played by That Creole Band and the Original Dixieland Five, and associated with vaudeville and a young newcomer who played a mean horn, Louis Armstrong. The indefinable "blues" and its singers hit New York in 1920 and jazz became a symbol of immorality. Four years later it was fashionable again, and Paul Whiteman played his first concert at Aeolian Hall. In the thirties crowds flocked to hear Chick Webb, Fletcher Henderson..." --Incomplete dustjacket description.
